    Chapter 31 She just fell in love with her mother who generously gave her love. What could she do wrong?

    Wuming heard the humility in Hou Linghua’s tone, but… did she really have a choice?

    It seemed that she had the upper hand in this tug-of-war, but in fact it was not the case. Hou Linghua took the initiative every time, and she was often in a passive position. She had no choice at all.

    Even if she refuses, Hou Linghua will not give up, and she will try her best to force her to fall in love with her.

    Wuming had already seen Hou Linghua clearly, but she finally responded coldly.

    “Well…”

    “Mom, you actually promised me!”

    “Okay, the most important thing now is to resurrect you. Only after you are alive can we talk about it later.”

    “Mom, did you really promise me? Are you just trying to coax me?”

    Butterflies flew around Wuming. She flew so fast because of her excitement that Wuming couldn’t catch her to stop her.

    “I promise you. Although I’m not sure yet whether this is love, I will try to love you. Of course, the premise of all this is… you don’t hide anything from me now!”

    Nothing to hide…

    Butterfly panicked for a moment and couldn’t help but bump into Wuming’s body. She fell straight down. Fortunately, Wuming’s hand caught her in time.

    “Mom, I…I’m just so happy. You know, that’s what happens when you suddenly get something you never thought of before.”

    “Why do you love me so much?”

    “Because you are the best mother in the world! Mother, I am a monster, a monster without mother’s love, so once you give me a little love, I will stick to you… Mother, will you regret giving me a candied haws on that day?”

    Do you regret it…

    If she hadn’t met Hou Linghua…she would probably have gone to Luomu Valley after earning enough money in the city lord’s mansion.

    Then, she would most likely die there. The strange vines were too strong and she couldn’t beat them. It was Hou Linghua who sacrificed his life to repel the vines that gave her a chance to survive.

    “I don’t regret it.”

    Wuming tapped the butterfly with his finger: “Good baby, don’t worry too much. I am your mother, and I will not abandon you just because you are a monster.”

    If Hou Linghua had given other reasons, Wuming would probably be more hesitant about this relationship.

    But Hou Linghua actually fell in love with her because of the motherly love she gave her, which made her affectionate.

    She is not a monster, but she is an orphan, and she can understand Hou Linghua’s desire for this love.

    Mother’s love… Mother’s love is the most tolerant love. Hou Linghua is a monster and cannot be tolerated by anyone in the world. This unreasonable love is naturally very attractive to her.

    She just fell in love with her mother who generously gave her love. What could she do wrong?

    “Great! Mom! I’m so happy now!”

    She only regretted that she was just a butterfly now, and it was a pity that she had lost such a beautiful atmosphere.

    In such a beautiful time, she should sit in her mother’s arms in her original form, feel the warmth surrounded by her mother, and do evil things to her mother.

    But, she is just a butterfly…

    Or a butterfly that just got caught after doing something bad!

    “Mom! You are right! Resurrection is the most important thing! Happiness stimulated my little mind, and I suddenly remembered a secret passage!”

    “Secret passage?”

    “Gu insects like dampness, so our Five Yun Sect’s tunnels are all over the world…”

    “…”

    “Mom! Don’t worry! I will drive away the insects! I promise not to let you see any shadow of an insect!”

    “But insects crawled in those places too!!!”

    “Mom…if you really can’t accept it, why not stay here and wait for me to be resurrected. I can use Gu insects to help carry the corpse. This is what I do without you.”

    “I’m afraid the Wuyun Sect is full of poisonous insects. I really need to get used to it… My dear, we can leave there after you are resurrected, right?”

    “Yes! Mom, you just need to endure it for me! As for the future… I will rectify the Wuyun Sect after I become the leader! I guarantee that you will be satisfied!”

    “Okay…”

    The butterflies are no longer passive at work. They are much more efficient. When walking in the tunnel, the only obstacle is the bugs, which have all been driven away by the butterflies. They can move forward unimpeded.

    Butterfly found a straw cage from nowhere. She stayed in the cage and hung it on Wuming’s body while she was on her way. Wuming had less worries and hurried on much faster.

    Within a month, they walked out of the winding tunnel and saw the light of day again.

    Wuming looked around. Because she had deliberately driven away the butterflies before, this was the first time she saw a member of the Wuyun Sect except Hou Linghua.

    Because it was a matriarchal sect, all the girls could be seen were pretty women, and the Gu insects surrounding them looked quite pleasing to the eye against the background.

    Only then did Wuming realize how seriously Hou Linghua had smeared the Wuyun Sect.

    If it weren’t for those colorful bugs, she would almost think this place was a paradise.

    Butterflies fluttered on her face, blocking her view.

    “Aren’t you afraid of bugs? I’ll protect you! There are so many bugs! Don’t look at them!”

    But the deepest fear comes from the unknown. Now that her sight is blocked, she will become suspicious if there is a slight strange touch on her body…

    The butterfly eyepatch only had the opposite effect, but Wuming did not pull her down.

    A daughter’s filial piety means accepting her with a smile.

    “We have arrived at our destination, have you thought of a way to resurrect?”

    “Let’s find a quiet place first. You listen to me tell a story, and then I’ll tell you the immature method.”

    Wuming was blinded, Hou Linghua slapped her face with his wings to remind her of the direction, and they soon found a quiet place.

    After arriving at the place, Linghua flew down from Wuming’s face.

    “The method I mentioned may not necessarily succeed…and I think it’s quite illusory…just take it as a joke. It’s okay if it doesn’t succeed…”

    “Okay, don’t worry about it. Don’t you want to tell a story?”

    “I once played a trick on my sister with Lover’s Gu, so you should know about Lover’s Gu. The story I’m going to tell is the origin of Lover’s Gu.”

    “There was once a pair of sisters who were very close. Later, for the development of Wuyun Sect, the elder sister wanted to get married.”

    “It was just an ordinary marriage, but the younger sister wanted to possess all of her older sister, so she developed the lover’s poison to make her older sister fall in love with her.”

    “What does this have to do with you?”

    “I am the first Lover Gu that was developed, and I am also the child of those two women, a monster without motherly love.”

    “Of the two of them, one uses me as a tool to win over her lover, and the other has a child whom she loves more. I will always be abandoned until I meet you.”

    Wuming only felt suffocated. She couldn’t imagine how Hou Linghua survived.

    As a monster, it would be difficult for her to integrate into humans, and her birth was all due to one person’s selfishness…

    “Stop talking! So what do I have to do to resurrect you? No matter what it is, I can do it for you!”

    “They don’t love me, but I was born out of love, so you just need to give me enough love. I… I may need too much love. You know, I am a monster, so even if I fail, please don’t doubt the love between us.”

    “In that case, can’t this ceremony be carried out outside? Do you want to postpone it until now?”

    “Of course there are requirements for the location! I want to return to the place of my birth to hold this ceremony!”

    Returning to the place of her birth…that means she is very likely to face the woman who caused Hou Linghua’s tragedy?

    “Your mother…oh no, leader! Are you powerful?”

    “I…I lied to you too much in the past. That woman no longer poses a threat to me. The person she was greedy for was forced to death by her various manipulations. She is also heartbroken. She has been relying on Gu insects to survive these years.”

    “Oh, so, you are the boss here, huh… dear baby, are you really completely honest with me?”

    “Mom! I… I lied too much before, so I forgot about it for a while. I really didn’t mean to…”

    “Okay! There won’t be another time!”

    Butterfly walked deeper with Wuming. She had driven away all the insect poisons in advance, so the journey was very quiet, making Butterfly’s voice seem more ethereal.

    “Mom, it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work out. Don’t doubt the love between us. Everything is just my inference. What if it’s wrong…”

    “Good baby, don’t be nervous anymore. You are obviously testing my love. What are you nervous about? Also, am I making you so unconfident? Do you think I will fail before I even try?”

    Butterfly put away her nagging voice.

    Of course she was nervous because in her mind this love was stolen from her.

    Wuming herself didn’t know if it was love, and she didn’t know either, because the possible love had changed under her various operations.

    Maybe the love between them would be very healthy if she didn’t use so many tricks… But it’s hard to recover after overturning the water.

    The ending now is very complete, something she never dared to think about before. Even if Wuming cannot bring out the love that can awaken her, she will not blame Wuming, she will only blame herself for playing too many tricks.

    They entered the secret room.

    “Mom, this is it. Put me down. Then, because it’s too illusory, I don’t know the specific operation. You can do whatever you want. Don’t be burdened. I can always survive anyway.”

    Do you love…

    Wuming sat cross-legged next to Hou Linghua’s body, and she looked at Hou Linghua quietly.

    The butterfly flew to Hou Linghua’s hair, and her irregular flapping wings showed her anxiety.

    Wuming still doesn’t know whether she loves Hou Linghua or not.

    It is obvious that what Hou Linghua wants is maternal love, while Hou Linghua wants maternal love, lover’s love, including more…

    She wanted to possess her completely, she wanted all her love.

    What a domineering and rebellious girl…

    In the name of love, she forged a chain that bound Wuming to death at some point. By the time Wuming reacted, she had no way of escaping.

    She thought that she should be willing to give this love.

    If the child is disobedient, she just needs to educate him more in the future. She can get back the suffering she suffered because of her in the past. As for abandoning this little monster who has been abandoned several times, that is something she can never do.

    The little monster has learned to be a human being, and the little monster can also feel pain, and she is reluctant to bear the pain of the little monster.

    Can love that arises from compassion also be considered love?

    What if she is willing to be completely possessed by the little monster out of love?

    Is this affection worth all her love?

    It is all love, not just the love of a lover, because the love the little monster wants is all her love, which is far more than the love of a lover.

    Wuming thought randomly until Butterfly’s timid voice sounded.

    “Mom, I think this idea is too immature. How about we forget it…”

    Wuming kissed her passionately. Her kiss fell on Hou Linghua, and the coldness turned into warmth. The first thing the person lying on the ground did when he regained consciousness was to hug her tightly.

    “Mom! It turns out you really love me! I’m so happy, I’m so happy!”
